Now that the thermometer is taking a nosedive and school will be closed for the upcoming holidays, here are some great airport travel tips that should make your vacation go smoothly.
* Buy an inexpensive luggage scale and pack accordingly...There's nothing worse than paying an extra $50 per bag when you're checking in!
* Attach identification tags on the handle of your luggage as well as somewhere on the inside (in case the tag on the handle is torn off by those luggage movers!) And DO NOT supply your address on the ID tag, just your name and cell phone number. You never know who may have access to your luggage and if they see your address, your house is a prime target while you're away!
Make your luggage stand out! The most popular color for luggage at the airport is black. Don't let anyone grab your belongings from the baggage carousel by mistake and claim them as their own. Tie a colored ribbon to the handle of your bag or better yet, buy a bright-colored luggage strap and reinforce your luggage. After all, those zippers can only put up with so much! (for more insurance, place a quick tie on the strap and attach it to the luggage too so you'll never lose the strap.)
